I'm wondering (and worrying) why gettext did not notice and display an
error for the wrongly formatted translation. Is there anything
particular about the original format string?

Title:
  Synaptic crashes in vfprintf() with Norwegian locale

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Fix Committed
Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “synaptic” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed
Status in “synaptic” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed
Status in “synaptic” source package in Raring:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  == Test case ==
  Quoted from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/830750/comments/5:

  1. Open "Language Support"
  2. Install Norwegian Bokmål if not installed already, then drag "Norsk, bokmål (Norge)" to the top of the list.
  3. Apply system-wide (I don't know if this is necessary)
  4. Log out and log in again
  5. Open "Synaptic pakkebehandler", type in password as usual
  6. Shortly after its window appears, it will crash

  == Impact ==
  Makes the package unusable for Norwegian users.

  == Development Fix ==
  Fix merged into lp:synaptic at revision 2126. Only three strings in po/nb.po are changed.

  == Regression Potential ==
  I've verified that the singatures of the translated strings match the signatures of the original English one.

  == Original Description ==
  Attaching screenshot (ubuntu 11.10, synaptic 0.75.2ubuntu8)
